Same on our Alpine. It's suggested that you jack up the RV to relieve pressure on the bolts before attempting to grease. This is also a great time to inject a little grease into the axle EZ-Grease bearing as you can spin the tire while injecting grease. I got a couple of 8 ton bottle jacks from Tractor Supply to lift the Alpine.

there is a also a hyraulic ram attachment that can be used to free up grease packages. basically fill it with grease and then tap it with a hammer to push fresh grease through the bolt.

Likely problem is grease that has hardened in the bolt passge. Between that and then loosening the nut on the wet bolt I was able to quickly free up one bolt that wouldn't accept grease. loosening the bolt allows grease to flow through the bushing easier.
